It's only in the original play.

Watching My Fair Lady tonight.

Miss Doolittle has a wonderful, God-given talent, mentioned only in Shaw's original play, Pygmalion. I don't know why they haven't included it in other adaptations.

What talent does she have?

[George K]

@jolly oh, man.

No clue.

It's been years since I read "Pygmalion." The only thing that really sticks out in my memory is the totally different ending.

I'll let this one simmer a bit, but I thought this crowd might get this one...

[Jolly]

All right folks.

Stumped?

Stumped?

Indeed. Put it in a spoiler if you want others to guess.

[LuFins Dad]

Does it have to do with Aqua's sister ?

She was good at chopping fire wood.

Dis thread be vaguely sexist.

During Miss Doolittle's six month stay at Professor Higgins' home, she became an accomplished pianist.

The professor attributed it to a superior ear for music, since she could not play the piano when she first arrived and never learned how to read music, but could eventually play anything she had heard. It astonished him she could go to a concert and be able to pick out, and eventually play well, the music of the evening.

@jolly I have to revisit this play.

If I recall, 'Liza's dad was kind of an a-hole as well.
